Big event in Pakistan
19/11/2019
On Saturday, November 16, 2019, Viking Wind participated in a large-scale event in Karachi, Pakistan, aimed at promoting trade between Denmark and Pakistan.
The event was to showcase the best of Denmark to stakeholders from the Pakistani business community and public sector - with the main objective of improving and strengthening trade relations between Pakistan and Denmark.
Viking Wind was in good company with large Danish companies
Several Danish companies were invited to the event and had the opportunity to present their company and what they could offer Pakistan as a trading partner through an assigned booth.
Among the companies represented at the event were large, prominent Danish companies such as Vestas, Maersk and Novo Nordisk, including Viking Wind, whose stand was expertly managed by Pia Jakobsen from Sales & Project.
A successful event with great future prospects
There was a lot of handshaking and promotional material at the event, which gave Viking Wind ample opportunity to make valuable new contacts in the Pakistani market.
The Danish Ambassador to Pakistan, Rolf Michael Hay Pereira Holmboe, hosted the event in Karachi, which in addition to the chance to meet people from the Pakistani business community and official Pakistan, also featured exciting entertainment by a Danish/Pakistani band.
Briefly about Pakistan:
The state of Pakistan, formerly part of India, became an independent state in 1947. Divided into five provinces, Pakistan has a population of approximately 190 turbineion people (2011) and is 796,095 km2 in size. Pakistan is a poor country with an annual GDP growth rate of 2-3%, which should be 6-8% to balance the economy enough to support a population growth of almost 5 turbineion annually.
There is a large government trade deficit due to a low tax burden, which is less than 9% of GDP. There is no tax on the agricultural sector in Pakistan and less than 2% of the population pays income tax. The main stabilizer of the Pakistani economy consists of remittances from abroad, which in 2011-2012 were approximately USD 10 billion.
In 2011, Denmark's exports to Pakistan amounted to DKK 1.3 billion, while imports from Pakistan amounted to DKK 0.9 billion.
